Sylvia E. Garvue,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Schafer, was born at Dorchester,
Clark County, Wis., July 24, 1893 and died Sept. 13, 1924.

Mrs. Garvue was on
her return home from points in the southern part of the state when
she was suddenly taken ill and passed away in the auto she, with
her husband and children and mother and father, were riding in near
Waupaca.

Sylvia Garvue was
a graduate of the public school of Dorchester. She was an active
worker in Red Cross, Church, Sunday school and social affairs. For
her very efficient and faithful services as a Red Cross worker she
was presented with a medal from Washington. She was a member of the
order of Eastern Star of Abbotsford. For several years before her
marriage she served as local telephone operator in Dorchester.

She was married
Jan. 22, 1918 at Minneapolis, Minn. to Ollie W. Garvue and resided
at Abbotsford for the past four years. Previous to this they
resided at Chippewa Falls until Mr. Garvue was called to war. She
leaves a huband and two children, Wilma Maxine, age 5, and Walter
John, aged 3; a father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. John Schafer of
Dorchester and 3 brothers, Ervin and Lloyd of Hibbing, Minn. and
Forrest of Marion, Wis.

Sylvia Garvue was
the possessor of a keen fine mind and a personality that attracted
a host of friends to her who cannot yet rouse from the sudden shock
of her death. It is hard to think that one who was so full of the
joy of life has gone on. Though her health had been very poor for
years her friends seldom realized it because of her unfailing
animation and buoyancy of spirit. Her true Christian spirit was a
true one that enabled her to live happily and to meet death smiling
and unafraid. We can only borrow the words of Riley to express the
feeling that comes at the thought of her death:

"I cannot say, and
I will not say,

That she is dead,
she is just away . With a cheery smile and a wave of the hand

She has wandered
into an unknown land.

And left us
dreaming how very fair,

It needs must be,
since she lingers there."

Funeral services
were held at the home of her parents at Dorchester and at the
Evangelical Church in charge of the eastern Star of Abbotsford,
Rev. Marks officiating. Interment made in the Union Cemetery of
Dorchester, Sept. 16, 1924.
